They both grew up in California, both wear No. 12 and both have fans who will tell you theirs is the GOAT — greatest of all time.

One is 41, has his own line of vegan snacks and celebrated his 40th birthday at training camp with goats dressed in Patriots gear. The other is 34, part owner of the Milwaukee Bucks and photo-bombed Common on the Oscars red carpet.

On Sunday, the two quarterbacks face off for only the second time in their careers when the New England Patriots take on the Green Bay Packers for “Sunday Night Football” in Foxborough, Mass.

It’s the kind of epic matchup that has amped up the GOAT debate, so while the great football minds go head-to-head on that, let's take a timeout for a more lighthearted look at how the two stack up off the field in the world of pop culture.

Everybody knows him as a pitchman for ...

Brady: Long before he began hawking UGG men’s footwear in the early 2000s, Brady was wearing it. He told USA TODAY in 2016 that the comfy slippers have been his go-to since his mom bought him his first pair when he was 13 or 14. “They’re the only shoes I can wear in the house because my wife doesn’t want to let anyone wear shoes in the house.” Famous co-stars in the campaign: Jeff Bridges, Patriots teammate Julian Edelman, his dad, Tom Brady Sr., his mom, Galynn Brady, and the Brady family pit bull mix, Lua.

Rodgers: He has a long history of working with State Farm, dating to the series of “discount double check” ads that first turned his championship belt move into an insurance company catchphrase in 2011. Famous co-stars in the campaign: Dana Carvey and Kevin Nealon (as Hans & Franz), Packers teammates Clay Matthews, Randall Cobb and B.J. Raji, David Haydn-Jones and Rigsbee, an Australian blue heeler.

The edge: Brady. The Dude abides. Sorry, "Hey, Rodgers!" guy with the curly hair and Cheesehead.

Their famous significant others

Brady: He’s been married to Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen (they met on a blind date) since 2009. They have two children, Benjamin, 8, and Vivian, 5, and are sometimes referred to as "The Brady Bundch." Brady also dated “Blue Bloods” actress and model Bridget Moynahan from 2004 to 2006. They have an 11-year-old son, John, together.

Rodgers: He’s been dating former race car driver Danica Patrick for nearly a year. They first met at the 2012 ESPY Awards and became friends. When they first exchanged phone numbers more recently, they called each other “Green Bay” and “Chicago.” Rodgers dated actress Olivia Munn for three years. They split in April 2017.

Their sketch comedy abilities

Brady: Coming off the Patriots’ third Super Bowl win in four years, Brady hosted “Saturday Night Live” in 2005. His monologue was a song-and-dance number that touted his many talents beyond football, including holding his breath underwater for an hour and a half, killing a horse with his bare hands and winning the Tour de France with no pants. Sketches ranged from a sexual harassment in the workplace PSA in which he showed up in his underwear to a spoof of the Chicago Bears’ “Super Bowl Shuffle” that had him playing Jim McMahon. Reviews were mixed but not exactly Peyton Manning caliber.

Rodgers: He made a case for his comedic chops when he showed up in an “I, Tonya” parody with Patrick during this year’s ESPY Awards. He had the benefit of filming “Me, Danica” ahead of time, not live, but his take as a dweeby boyfriend in glasses and a fake mustache was spot-on for the spoof of the 2017 Tonya Harding biopic. And let’s not forget his appearance in a very funny 2015 “Key & Peele” Super Bowl sketch that mocked NFL player introductions on game broadcasts. No. 12 shows up at the end to introduce himself as “A.A. Ron Rodgers.”

The edge: Rodgers. He's honed his comedic timing and knack for deadpan humor in all those State Farm ads, and he's not afraid to poke fun at himself. Seems like a natural to host "SNL" one day.

A few famous friends

Brady: He has referred to pals Matt Damon (who co-starred with him in 2013's “Stuck on You”), Mark Wahlberg (who talked him into a small role in 2015’s “Ted 2”) and Ben Affleck as his “Boston crew.” In 2016, Affleck and Damon even made a video in which they argue about who is really the best friend of “Tommy,” “T-Bone,” “Touchdown Tommy” ...

Rodgers: He's visited “South Park” studios with country singer Brad Paisley (who also had him walk out onstage during one of his Green Bay shows), attended Ellen DeGeneres’ birthday party (where Ryan Seacrest didn’t know who he was), hung out with Justin Timberlake and grilled with Chris Pratt.

The edge: Brady. His "Boston Crew" is wicked strong.

Their taste in music

Brady: During Super Bowl LII week in January, when asked which artists help get him centered, he rattled off this lineup: Jay-Z, Coldplay, U2, Pearl Jam and Kendrick Lamar. He told ESPN in 2017 that Coldplay was one of his favorite bands. Jay-Z’s “Public Service Announcement” plays at Gillette Stadium when he takes the field for home games.

Rodgers: He's a Pearl Jam fan, too. During an interview on “The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz” in 2017, he confessed that “Just Breathe” is one of his go-to karaoke songs and said meeting Eddie Vedder before a Pearl Jam concert in Milwaukee was one of the highlights of his life. He’s also an Avett Brothers fan. He joined the band onstage — banjo in hand — at the Resch Center in 2013 and caught the band’s show in October in Appleton.

The edge: Toss-up. No embarrassing acts on either side ... that we could find.

Fashion sense at high-profile events

Brady: He and Gisele are regulars at the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute benefit, better known as the Met Gala. Considered the gold standard of parties — tickets are $30,000 each — it’s a who’s who of jaw-dropping celebrity fashion. He wore a Versace tuxedo jacket with gold embroidery on the lapels in May that unleashed a storm of social media mockery. Golf Digest’s The Loop said he looked “like The Man With the Golden Gun undercover as Wayne Newton performing lounge jazz covers of Metallica’s ‘Black Album.’”

Rodgers: One way to not get ridiculed for what you wear? Go full-on, over-the-top on purpose. Rodgers has a tradition of showing up for the Welcome Back Packers Luncheon, a fundraiser for the Greater Green Bay Chamber, in quirky couture. This year, he made his entrance at the Lambeau Field Atrium in an all-denim ensemble, complete with a replica of a tux jacket made for Bing Crosby in 1951. Past fashion statements have been inspired by “Men in Black” and Team USA, but he’s definitely partial to denim and cowboy hats.

TV credits

Brady: He made a cameo on “Entourage” in 2009, and voiced himself on “Family Guy” for a 2006 episode titled “Patriot Games” and for a 2005 episode of “The Simpsons” titled “Homer and Ned’s Hail Mary Pass.” In January, Brady launched a six-episode documentary series about his training regimen and home life on Facebook Watch called “Tom vs. Time.”

Rodgers: A fan of game shows, he beat out Erin Andrews on “The $100,000 Pyramid” in 2017 (and helped his partner win $100,000), got his own episode of ABC game show “Big Fan” the same year and earned $50,000 for the MACC Fund by winning “Celebrity Jeopardy!” in 2015. In July, he went in the water with sharks on the Discovery Channel’s “Monster Tag” as part of Shark Week.

The edge: Too close to call. Brady's credits carry more pop culture weight, but it's one thing to lend your voice to an animated character and it's another to put yourself out there, buzz in and know who led 210 soldiers on an attack of an Indian village in 1876.
